The 2013 Season

Of Family Fun Day has officially begun!  We had a little mini-session Friday to celebrate the removal of Riley's cast but we went all out yesterday!  We were going to take out the giant giraffe pool we had but Marc popped it while blowing it up so we went to plan b which included our slip and slide and sprinkler ball toy.  Both, major hits.  Neither kid had the slip and sliding down but they had fun with the sprinklers and Jacob had a love hate relationship with the ball sprinkler.  Jacob of course ate his snack in the middle of the slip and slip which prevented slipping and sliding but Riley ran all around him and eventually he was on his feet running around in the water fully soaked!

Summer Sliding Fun

Yesterday we were supposed to go out and see the Goines' but with the kids both having fevers this we didn't want to risk infecting the twins even though by Friday both were healthy (I really at this point think that Jacob's fever was from cutting his second tooth because it is now completely visible but he does have a cough so better safe than sorry).  While we were on the peninsula we were invited to Marc's co-worker's son's 6th birthday (did you follow all of that?), he texted her and she said we could still come if the kids were up to it.  Riley went to day care Friday and had a great day (phew) and Jacob was fever free without Motrin all day Friday so we packed up the kids and headed down to San Jose for the afternoon.  What a perfect day for some water fun, it was HOT!  We told Riley they were having a huge water slide, I personally was a bit apprehensive (the girl really needs swim lessons which start in August) but when we got there I was at ease because there was no pool of water at the bottom.  But the slide was huge, Marc and I both thought that Riley was going to be a big talker and want to go on it and then chicken out.  Her transition into the water slide went something like this - Up the stairs with Marc, down the slide with Marc; up the stairs on her own, down the slide with Marc; Marc carry Riley up the slide (I think she was getting tired and lazy), down the slide by herself; peace out Dad, I want to do it myself!  I can't even tell you how many times Riley went up and down the slide it was a huge hit!  So mad both my kids have winter birthdays, we can never do anything like this!

Biggest water slide EVER!

Coming off of the slide!

Having so much fun!

Marc's co-worker has a 9 month old daughter named Hannah

Going in for a kiss, Jacob loves the ladies (apparently she made him cry a few moments later!)

After that we hit up Valley Fair Mall and the Nordstrom sale and I scored a pair of jeans on sale that I have had my eye on since I was pregnant with Jacob and I finally fit into a size lower than my pre-pregnancy size.  I guess all of the 4:45AM wake ups to pump and work out before work are paying off!
